That brings up an interesting question.  Did BMW keep the Triumph name and
other British marque names it held with the sale of BMH?  The only reason
to do so would be for future potential commercial value (as they're doing
with the new Mini).  But we've all heard in the past that BMW evaluated the
TR name and found it to be pretty useless commercially.  Now I'd personally
like to see a new TR6 with a TVR straight-six engine in it ;-)  (heh sort
of the reverse of a 2500M).
